2023:11 Study of degradation of spent fuel’s structural material and core components under long-term wet storage
SSM perspective Background Sweden is managing the spent nuclear fuel and core components from its commercial nuclear reactors with a national strategic plan. The fuel and core components are initially stored at the reactor site. After an on-site storage period to comply with transportation limits on decay heat and radiation, these materials are shipped to the Clab (Central Interim Storage...

2024:18 Modelling Environmental Sensitization of Chromia Forming Nickel Base Alloys Toward Stress Corrosion Cracking in Light Water Reactors by Atomistic Simulations
SSM perspective Background Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in load bearing structures has been a longstanding issue both in pressurized and boiling water reactors. The specific environment in nuclear power applications consists of high temperatures and pressures that together with the effects of the radiation field on the coolant composition provide tough conditions for the materials used in...

Final repository for radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel
One of the duties of the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority is to review the final disposal applications submitted to the Authority by Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB (SKB). We review the applications with reference to the Swedish Act on Nuclear Activities and against our regulations, and issue pronouncements to the Swedish Government, which then makes licensing decisions.

2022:08 Geophysical surveys on sub marine land- and rock slides and on alpine glaciers
SSM perspective Background The future climate evolution and the impact it might have on a repository for radioactive waste is important when assessing the long-term safety. In a project funded by SSM (Holmlund et al. 2016), bathymetric data from the Southern Quark area between Sweden and Åland, provided by the Swedish Maritime Administration, were analysed, as well as terrestrial data from...
